I have a kitchen infestation on a rental house that needs attention but not familiar with the process or credibility or pest control companies.Regards,Chad

Only improvements like new kitchens, baths, adding square footage, etc, really boost value. 

Hello BP Friends,First timer here and I'm thinking of leasing my commercial property and approached a local agent / broker , she emailed me the contract and wanted exclusivity, what does it mean?

I have been selling my small properties at 11 and 12 cap and they all get new roofs, windows, furnaces, flooring, kitchens and baths as soon as I buy them.

Set house rules, no smoking inside, kitchen cabinet space designated per room.I have a house 6 guys living there by the room. works out, they have a chore chart sheet like who takes trash down, who cleans bathroom week 1, weekly clean up of main areas on Sunday week 1 and they switch off weeks.. yup faces change but not to much of grief factor. they seem to realize that they all are saving some bucks with this arrangement.  

We essentially stripped the house down to studs and replaced everything - new HVAC, new electrical, new plumbing, new roof, drywall, carpet, tile, kitchen, bathroom, you name it!

I brokered a 80 unit to a buyer from Honolulu here in Portlandia in 06... they had a 1031 and paid cash  it was a 5 cap at the time rents average 700... they paid cash no debt. 

Tenants have ruined 50% of the base cabinet doors in my kitchen.

Hello AllThanks for your inputs...I'm renovating a 1800 sq ft house with all new bathrooms  and kitchen.

They are still available in Cambridge, Kitchener and even off market properties in Waterloo.
